Linus actually suggested this should get done in some form a while ago
back when I was tty maintainer but about the same time as I decided not
to be.


I would be tempted to put the core stuff in /tty as its not drivers


drivers/serial should also walk into tty I think ?

drivers/pcmcia/serial is a bit trickier but I guess should stay as with
drivers/usb/serial

There are several unbuildable ancient drivers. Perhaps if we are having
the great rename those should simply get deleted first, as there is no
way to test them in their current config ?
